About $10 since they charge shipping.
You have to cut out the rivets that hold them in factory, then bolt the new ones. By all means, I'd rather you do that than me.

Good info. I didn't get time to ship yours out today, you're the only one who's paid, although I did get one more reply tonight. I will ship yours tomorrow.
FWIW, I think these manufacturers are going overkill on the stretch bolts. At Benz where I work, EVERYTHING is a stretch/one time use bolt it seems. We throw away hundreds of bolts on brand new cars that are perfectly fine. I understand the logic behind it and the material stresses involved, but on my personal cars I've reused tons of stretch bolts without issues. I do follow proper torquing processes and I'm very careful to clean threads and contact surfaces, just as part of my regular OCD attention to detail, but I wouldn't hesitate to reuse the bolts in this application.

I'm just waiting for my check to clear before I send over the money. Gotta make sure I have enough to fill up for the 3rd time this week 
It's no longer a want with these arms, It's a legit need now since my passenger arm is feeling sloppy very sloppy now.

Yeah, I look forward to my arms. My car wallows around like my old Cobalts did when the TCAB's were tired out. I know my drivers side is weather checked/cracked in places when I peeked at it doing the end links.
If anyone coughs out totally, please let us know... there was interest from some people in the Gamma2 group on FB. I'm sure we can help get them unloaded, but I would hope everyone else does the right thing.
I'm replacing my bolts mostly because they are starting to look a little crusty. I am a Floridian by birth, moved up north when I was ~23 and I miss the days of working on non-salted cars.

I'll maybe post my review on gamma 2 once I get them. It may be a while before I install once I get them though. I'm working on trying to install an aftermarket transmission cooler before doing too much more. I want to make sure that I don't end up cooking the new transmission from the inside when I go to do heavy testing for the control arm review.

Two sets paid and shipped, waiting on Blue to pay, haven't heard from Nate but his PM box is full. Hope you guys enjoy these, they should make a nice difference, it was night and day on the Cobalts.

He just PM'd us the details, mine were a few bucks more since I wanted servicable balljoints. I believe he said your PM mailbox is full, so he couldnt get you the details.

Hopefully soon too cause I want to get my new intercooler setup installed at the same time as the new control arms. MPfab said my kit should ship on Tuesday.

Yesterday was the end of the month so we were crazy busy at work, I didn't leave for lunch. Today has been hectic as well, plus I got in trouble for some stupid stuff I did and can't be missing. I'll drop them off tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
